"I love her, I always have," Perry told Today today (July 19), according to Us Weekly. "We've had our differences but I just continue to say, 'God bless her on her journey.'"

Perry's also since talked about Swift with NMEand Ariana Huffington. The latter chat, part of the Thrive Global podcast, included Perry's apology for any part she may have played in the battle.

“I am ready to let it go,” Perry said. “I forgive her and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her. I think it’s actually like, I think it’s time. There are bigger fish to fry, and there are real problems in the world. You know what I’m saying?”

“I love her, and I want the best for her,” she added. “And I think she’s a fantastic songwriter, and I think that if we, both her and I, can be representatives of strong women that come together despite their differences, I think the whole world is going to go like, ‘Yeah, well we can do this.’ I don’t know. Maybe I don’t agree with everything she does and she doesn’t agree with everything I do, but I just really, truly want to come together in a place of love and forgiveness and understanding and compassion.”
